Message Guy Tip #31How to choose 30th birthday wishes

30 is a milestone birthday we like to celebrate in a really big way. But it’s not as notable as turning, say, 21, 40 or 50, so figuring out what message to send can be hard.

Should you pick something serious? Inspiring? Funny? As always, it depends on the feelings you want to express and, of course, the personality of the message's recipient.

Does the birthday boy or girl have a sense of humor? This is always the first question to answer.

When it comes to 30th birthday wishes, go the funny route with people who can laugh at themselves. Take the serious, philosophical path with someone who is more introverted.

You also need to consider that people have mixed feelings about turning 30. On one hand, they like the contentment that comes with the age. On the other hand, they now feel that their youth is officially over.

This may have something to do with what '60s student activist Jack Weinberg famously said: “Don't trust anyone over 30.” In other words, don’t trust anyone who is no longer young.

Ironically, Weinberg is well over 30 now (he’s actually in his 70s). So, if you decide to poke fun at the birthday girl or boy with funny 30th birthday wishes, be sure that he or she isn't too bummed out about their age.◄ Read less
